Senator German, in saying that he never
knew man in public life who thought the
people dishonest who was not himself ras-
cal, only expressed an old idea in new words,
but it is not the less true for being old. The
man always full of suspicion invites dis

Prince Ferdinand seems to have had bet
ter knowledge of the situation than those
who criticised his folly" in going into
Bulgaria. His position seems to grow
stronger every day, and his throne may be-
come as stable as that of his great neighbor,
the Gar; and he has the advantage of
knowing that none of his subjects want to
blow him I'D with dynamite.

1t doesn't give high idea of our civiliza-
ton to learn that young girl, accidentally
separated from her companions in a country
outing, was chased into the house of a stran-
ger by twelve or fifteen roughs, and that
some days later an attempt was made by
one of the villains to murder the man who
defended her when she claimed his protec-
ton. These things happened in New Jersey,
and as Jersey justice has a reputation to
sustain, the penitentiary will probably soon
acquire number of new citizens.

The examinations for promotion in the
New York custom house last week disclose
state Of affairs which needs explanation.
OF the several hundred persons examined
more than half failed to come up TO the
minimum requirements of the civil service
rules, and will have to be dismissed. The
question naturally raised by this result is
whether these men are really in
competent TO the duties for the perform
ance of which they have been paid,
or is the civil service examination of such a
character that it does not settle the question
of their fitness. If the public should become
convinced that the latter is the true reason
for such large percentage of failures, the
damage done to the present plan of civil SER
vice reform would be great It might be
useful TO make known a specimen examina-
lion.

A man who happened to be the only wit
ness to murder, with which he had moth.
ing whatever to do, at Lancaster, Pa, Yves
confined in Jail POS days for fear he would
go away without giving his testimony.
When the trial was finally ended he was
charged So week for his board in Jail, and
paid 81 for each week day, so that he got
less than 500 for his long detention. Some
man may have been subjected somewhere
in the world to meaner treatment than this,
but we never heard of it, His case is worthy
OF special attention by the Legislature.

The Philadelphia Record takes the trouble
to trace back the history of a part of the
Western Union stock 1t selects that rep
resenting the lines from the Missouri river
to Salt Lake City. These wires were put up
under an extravagantly high-priced con-
tract for $l47,0O0. A million dollars in
stock was issued to represent this outlay,
and this has since been watered until it is
now S6,00O,O00. A 6 per cent. dividend on
this stock means that the people are every
year paying more than twice the cost of the
plant for Geographic service.

thieves, who at various times have
stolen corn aud other grain from his
fields and bins, all efforts to capture
them being. .fruitless. His cornfield
was situated about half mile from
his residence, and as few parties are
abroad on Friday, the thieves thought

other buildings in that block, and
worst of all Is persons were injured
and FIVE were killed. If fire could
be COTTON to the bottom Of the gas
wells, the bottom of the valley
